How has the marketing been this week. I've seen 2 or 3 cod trailers, including a 2 minute one with the guy from john carter. But I haven't been watching much tv. Any halo ads? Or assassins creed bundle?

I don't watch much live tv so I don't know how the marketing is there, but I've seen alot of Xbox One ads on Crackle this week. Mostly for The Crew (with just the Xbox One boxart at the end) and AC Unity (with the bundle advertised at the end). I've also seeb alot of CoD:AW ads on websites and on Youtube videos this week, with Xbox One/Xbox 360 advertising. Still haven't seen any Halo: MCC ads, hopefully they'll start them after CoD releases on Monday.

It's so stupid everyone knows next gen is getting cod. It's a multiplat game that ms has been advertising the crap out of. For weeks that's all I see, I've seen one sunset commercial. I guess ms has prioritized cod over exclusives like sunset, and halo. Why wait until it's out. They could do both at the same time. Halo should have been all over the tv for the past 2 weeks. They are still gunna have cod adverts after it comes out, it will probably be advertised more that halo will after Tuesday.



Halo MCC will sell 5+ million copies(including digital)

halo 5 will sell 10 million copies(including digital)

x1 will pass ps4 in USA, and UK.

sales for sunset looking good according to phil

Well to be fair, my message took longer to type, so.... xD

It's nice to see that people are still asking for it. I really hope they finally listen to us. Shenmue 3 is the 6th most requested game on Xbox Feedback, hopefully they're not ignoring that fact. 

Escuses :>

Yeah, I will keep spamming Phil account every week. ''Not so small'' is promissing. 

I'm pretty sure that MS have info about Shenmue current situation, if Sony already got it... would they talk about it?

(Some MIcrosoft x Sony kinda thing, to #safeshenmue would be amusing..)

You guys will probably hate me for this but I don't really think Shenmue is going to be worthwhile for MS to invest in. If anything the PS4 makes much more sense for the game than Xbox One. I have no idea what a Shenmue 3 budget will be like but the franchise is pretty niche compared to most games, if it's an Xbox One exclusive I don't think it'll even break 1m.

That's really good to hear.

Niche games bring a niche fan base to the console, the ratio of console+game buyers would be bigger than normal.

MS needs more diversity when it comes to games, it clearly doesn't have anything like Shenmue on the portfolio.

I just hope that Phil is not stringing us along with false hope, if there's no chance at all of MS getting Shenmue 3 on Xbox One (rather it be as an exclusive or as a multiplat game) then he should just break the news to us instead of beating around the bush. 

yup, I agree.

Surely if Sega decided to begin developing it they would have had talks with both Sony and MIcorosft, so Microsoft would at least know about the talks. I just hope that Phil is not stringing us along with false hope, if there's no chance at all of MS getting Shenmue 3 on Xbox One (rather it be as an exclusive or as a multiplat game) then he should just break the news to us instead of beating around the bush. 


But he has been clear on it.  He has said its not something he intends on doing
